System requirements
Pillars of Eternity Guide

System requirements of Pillars of Eternity are not too high. Still, they are not as low as you would expect of a top-down RPG and a two-dimensional game world. To launch Pillars of Eternity, you only require a low-performance Intel Core i3 CPU, although it is advisable that you own something better, if you want to maintain appropriate performance. The same goes for the GPU and RAM (Pillars of Eternity requires, at least, 4GB RAM, but you should have, at least, 8GB RAM). While preparing this guide, we have not experienced any major problems with stability, although the framerate discernibly dropped, in larger locations.

Game modes

Offline co-op (split screen/hot seat): No

Our system

This guide has been prepared for the PC version, on a computer of below specs:

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

CPU: Intel Core i5-750

RAM: 8 GB

GPU: Asus GeForce GTX660 OC

VRAM: 2 GB

The above specification allowed for the 1920x1200 resolution and all of the additional graphics options. For the majority of time, the maximum framerate was possible and the game slowed down only in bigger locations, with higher number of NPCs, or e.g. additional smoke and fire effects.
